Naming an orc monk
An orc monk carries orc naming tradition into the monk's calling. Orc names are short, hard, and aggressive, built from guttural consonants and abrupt stops. A name is meant to sound like a threat or a war-cry, and the strongest orcs earn an epithet that replaces any family name. A monk — a student of body, breath, and inner balance — tends toward spare, contemplative names, sometimes a single syllable or a virtue. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
